*randomly passing by*

Umm, idk about us... To be honest, the hype on us about this event can be considered very low, although Thelma himself said he's still looking for members...

I can't really certain about Indonesia's condition right now, let's just see later anyway (:

Good luck to all participants on this event anyway!

Sad to see that.
But when A.B team is not allowed. Really easy to be like this situation..

I think it's not easy to have enough countries to attend.Then what will you decide Loctav?

Actually I'm pretty sure we do have 32 countries with at least 3 regular players. I've seen some players not participating because : "We don't have enough players in my country" even though I could find at least 2 others players who plays every days and has more than 10k PC. But some people just tend to think that if you can't FC every ranked map then you're not capable of playing in the TWC. Unfortunately, this is not giving a good image of taiko community because it has grown since last year but we have the impression it haven't just because of that.

I'm not gonna speak for Loctav because I don't know the whole situation, but did you guys follow the rules for registering? This happened before where some people didn't send a PM to Loctav after registering like is required in the rules.

are u really sure? Though I haven't calculate before,but maybe u can have a compare with the owc..
Then, though some players have pc more than 10k, they don't want to join either, for a not very correct example ,Rokodo?

I calculated how much countries we could gather just with players I already know, and I could gather more than 20 countries, and I wasn't that far from 32. Yes the issue is players not wanting to join and some not even being asked because they are not known in the taiko community (ie. people think they don't exist).

About Argentina not being in pending countries, I guess it's because we couldn't gather 32 teams, so they decided to cut off the number of participant to 20, and if you sent your application after 20 teams then maybe you're not on the list. But this is just an assumption, we should wait for the official answer ;)

EDIT : After reading the wiki page, it looks like this is the case. We now have 4 groups of 5 teams and #1-#4 of each group ascend to the knock-out stage. If we could gather more than 20 countries and having to reject some, maybe we can try to gather 24 teams, make 6 groups of 4 teams, make #1-#2 ascend + the 4 best #3. As we have to play the group stage in one single week-end, it will be easier for both part to make groups of 4 teams ?

Every team underruns the same check. If you want to change your roster, do it now. Your team hasn't been checked yet, so you can still exchange some members. But hurry up. Whenever the check started, changes are invalid.

Group Stage Mappool is out. Check out the wiki for it.

Information:
  1. 19 different mappers
    - 2x: climbb65588, Alace, KanaRin, Flower, lolcubes
    - 1x: Nashmun, 31, MMzz, inaba-tan, TKSalt, OnosakiHito, qoot8123, hs714, toara_fict, spboxer3, MoonFragrancy, Reyshel, bossandy, lepidopodus
  2. Genres / singer / etc.: BMS, english, japanese, anime, classic, folk, cytus, instrumental, Hatsune Miku, k-pop, eurobeat
  3. Song lenght: 8 x 1 minute, 7 x 2 minutes, 5 x 3 minutes, 2 x 4 minutes
  4. Using three previous used maps
Mappool contains various maps which requier different skills, such as:
  1. reading finishers
  2. playing streams
  3. dealing with SV changes
  4. beeing able to play faster songs
  5. stamina
  6. slider game play (Map: Kara - Step).
Formation:

  1. NoMod: From easier maps(top) to the harder maps (bottom).
  2. HD / HR: Contains one easier HD/HR map but which are longer than the other maps from their mod bracket.
  3. DT: One slower BPM map.
  4. Free Mod: Should be fair for all three play kinds (NM/HD/HR)
    - 1# Map: 165 BPM
    - 2# Map: 170 BPM
    - 3# Map: 180 BPM
You are always able to PM me in forum new maps. Preferable your own map, since you know how you mapped it and want to show me your best work.
I hope you like the mappools. Good luck to all participants!

Fun maps, but pretty easy set tbh
Owens and Calamity Fortune should have been free mod imo, they are really awesome on both HR and HD (and of similar difficulty with each mod)
Manima ni = <3, but also a bit too easy for a tiebreaker maybe

Ironically enough I find Nuclear Fusion to be the hardest of the maps due to the 1/6 making it the hardest to FC.

You could refrain from making inappropriate comments like this. Some patterns are harder for others. If I find something hard, it makes me a troll?

Nuclear Fusion is INCREDIBLY EASY except for one 1/6 part. Parts like it, are not hard, but just make it inconsistent. Things like bbn are actually hard and kind of inconsistently mapped, possibly because it's not very good, but that's just my opinion. A lot of times, I struggle with hard patterns on slower maps. It's just the nature of the kddk playstyle. ddkk or kkdd don't find it hard, since they don't have to swap hands and play it backwards. I guess I am seriously just stupid though, thanks for teliing me.

I'm assuming there's literally no reasoning for these map picks being miles more difficult than those in TWC's past.

...But if one were to be made up, it'd probably be to close the gap between acc fights and actually skill, which is a bad reason on its own.

With the lack of new players the general "skill ceiling" keeps rising for each year that goes by and what was considered considered "hard" a few years ago doesn't come close to what's considered "hard" today. In every gamemode, all maps are in general harder than they used to be.

Except for the fact there is considerably less skilled players playing this year, no offense to everyone out there.

Like, go look at least years team and this years teams. Maybe like 12 hardcore, could have won it all teams last year, compared to the maybe 6-7 this year. It is mostly the fault of not letting us have A and B teams or mixed country teams. We lost out on so many quality players.

I was even telling Ono it might be better if he made the maps easier this year. Howeverrrrrrrr another reason he has done this is perhaps because of the format, which is the format of getting rid of a team each week and having us all play over the weekend against everyone in each pool.

It makes sense but it also doesn't. I think this was handled fairly-well, considering.

I personally think you are all underestimating what people can do, even if we don't know them enough. I also think there are more new players that we think, but as they don't show up in forums nor in chat, people just assume they just don't exist. We'll see how it turns out this week-end, but I think it's a good thing to spice up the difficulty each year.

tl;dr : I think.

So, here's a story.

In the US v Poland game, at one point we picked Tabidachi no Shuen or whatever, and we were like 'yeah we can all do well on that song'. So we're in, HR and all, and at 1:30 of the song, a norton pop-up comes up covering my screen. I have not missed yet, and there was no break until way later so I had to play with this pop-up above me. It was like playing with HR + HDx2, I think I missed one 2 notes until around ~2:51 of the song, when I was able to get rid of it, when I realized that it didn't close, rather now, I was out of osu! and on the pop-up, so no hits were registering for that bit.
